From SkySof Software:
Excel OCX is a powerful ActiveX Control written in Visual Basic 6.0 (ensuring maximum compatibility, ease-of-use and effectiveness) which contains a smorgasborg of functions to exchange data between Excel and Visual Basic, create professional looking reports in Excel, and much much more. Using Excel OCX in your Visual Basic application will allow you to create applications in mere days which used to take weeks. The amount of time and money saved more than makes up for the cost of the product. Our many satisfied customers tell us that Excel OCX pays for itself the first time it is used. All functions have been thoroughly tested and optimized to perform data transfer as quickly as possible.

Excel OCX has many methods for moving data between Excel and Visual Basic - for instance moving the values in a ListView control to an Excel worksheet, moving values from an Excel worksheet to a Visual Basic FlexGrid control, etc. Excel Automation doesn't have any of these features built-in! While Excel OCX does have some features of Excel automation I found that using Excel OCX was much simpler than Excel automation. I am an expert Visual Basic Programmer who saved many hours of programming time with Excel OCX! Great product! I highly recommend it!

This is just an OCX wrapper for the existing Excel Automation object. I don't see any added value. In addition, the API functions are poorly defined. The "OpenWorkbook" function has parameters that are input only, such as the workbook name, defined as input-output.
